I have to do a project, and I can't even think of any modern day revolutionaries/freedom fighters.
Back in the day, MLK would have been acceptable. Who can I use that is modern?
Anyone have any people? I need 10.

Nelson Mandela would be an easy choice and you could pander and play the race card which usually leads to a good grade.

super fail Ross Perot got 20%+ vote in a general election and nobody remembers what he stood for, so why would history remember a guy that took second in a few primaries?Originally Posted by Jinru

one of the biggest revolutionaries of the "modern day" (sorta), is Khomeni. But he's hated by practically most of the west, and even some of his own people.

Yunus is single handedly pulling loads of poor people out of poverty with his banking system.
- Warren Buffet & Bill Gates could be on the list with their humanitarian work.

Probably because she was a friend of the taleban for a start.
What about the monks that protested in Burma? Or the opposition leader there who is always under house arrest or in prison (can't spell her name)
Can't you do something on how it is in the eye of the beholder whether someone is a freedom fighter? Some people think Al Qaeda are freedom fighters, and FARC. And so on. Popular revolutionaries often have militant histories. (Sinn Fein, Mandela etc)Last edited by res7426; 03-14-2008 at 07:31 AM.
